Details of Disappearance and work by Brian Ladd:login to view) (login to view)

Jeannie was last seen in Mauston, Wisconsin on December 19, 1949. Her parents were out and her grandparents were watching her and two of her siblings; a third child was in school. Sometime during the day, a fire broke out at the Jeannie house.

Most authorities believe Jeannie died in the fire that consumed her house. Some possible bone fragments were sent to a state laboratory for analysis, but they were not identified as hers. Jeannie's siblings believe she may have been hidden by other family members and is possibly still alive. They think Jeannie was possibly conceived out of wedlock and the fire was set as a diversion so someone could take Jeannie away from her home and to the care of her biological father. A Minnesota woman had her DNA tested against the Bryant's family in 2006, but the results were not a match.
It was at her siblings' request that authorities reopened the investigation into Jeannie's disappearance over fifty years after she vanished. Her case opened 2018 by Psychic Brian Ladd.
